I like 'em. Much better than bias but we knew that.

Pricey. But once bought, satisfying.

Went on my 35 wires, but I struggled.

They are packed (in a wrapper) to pull the beads together (and protect during shipping), but they had put the tire so it didn't wanna seat the bead (while inflating through the stem). I recommend unwrapping & let them relax. Or prop them open to relax them somehow (maybe some small wood sticks?).
